Overview
The ELK M1 URC IP module allows for full control over the ELK or Ness M1 Gold alarm panels. The module provides user interfaces for all of the current URC touchscreens, hand held remotes, phones and tablets. Using this touchscreen interface you can arm and disarm the panel, check the current status of any zone in the current partition and read through the logs. All six function buttons are also available on the home page for triggering common commands. The function buttons can have custom labels applied and the areas can also be named using system parameters.
The module is designed using the Core / Interface style. The Core module handles all communication and would typically live in your common room. The Interface modules can be placed in the room that is in the area they are associated with, for example you may have one in the living room, with a second interface in the garage. The module will only display the relevant zones and arm and disarm the correct area. The current status of the alarm will be shown on the interface, including displaying anything that might be blocking an action (zones that are in alarm while trying to arm for example).
The module also provides a number of events that can be used for more advanced automation, like using the security sensors to trigger lights. In addition to the sensors there are events for the current arming status (Disarmed, Armed Away, Armed Stay, etc), the arming status (armed with Exit timer, Ready to Arm, etc), the alarm state (Burglary, Police, Fire, Entry Delay, etc) and the system state (AC Fail, Battery Low, Comms Failure, etc).
In addition to the automation events a full range of Two Way commands are available to turn zones on and off, trigger auxiliary outputs, run tasks, trigger the functions keys, send a text message to the LCD on the code pad and trigger lighting.
The module is compatible with both Ness and ELK M1 systems.

What module is required to connect to the panel via network
The module requires a M1-XEP module which provides ip based communications. This also helps facilitate reconfiguration of the panel locally or remotely (with port forwarding or a seperate VPN server/router), without the requirement to disconnect the URC system. Keep in mind, whilst connected in ELKRP, URC cannot connect properly to the Elk/Ness M1, but will automatically try to reconnect after ELKRP has disconnected
